About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

The Freeplay Independent Games Festival has revealed its finalists for its 2013 Freeplay Awards. Noir-esque "panel-swapper" Framed, by Melbourne-based studio Loveshack, earned four categorical nods. Also of note, the winners of 2012's Best Writing award, SeeThrough Studios, returns with its new title Particulars, nominated for two awards.

In total, 12 Australian games will vie for the 6 awards to be announced September 29 during the event. Tickets are still available for the two-day conference and three-day Playful program, with daily and full-week pricing.
